Reminiscing... Thirty-one years later

Reminiscing

Thirty-one years ago this month Bob and I were moving from a temporary duty station in Sicily to Corpus Christi, Texas. We had lots of leave time, so we were traveling through Europe to get back to the states. While in Rome we had lunch with a couple we met on a tour and they suggested we stop in Argegno on Lake Como if we had the chance and stay at Villa Belvedere. We took their advice and it was a highlight of our travel time then.

For old times sake we booked rooms at Via Belvedere on our drive from Munich to Tuscany and spent two nights at the same small hotel on Lake Como. It has not changed much in 31 years! The owner we remember well has passed away, but his wife is still there running the hotel. We think some of the furniture was the same as it was then! The location is still a beautiful piece of paradise on Lake Como where you go just to kick back and relax. The views from the tiny rooms are still spectacular and the outside patio was delightful for sharing a bottle of wine in the afternoon and having a leisurely breakfast in the morning.  We had dinner the night we arrived in the dining room and relaxed around a fire in the parlor afterwards to round out our first travel day in Italy.

Molto Buona!
